Hm. It was done relatively recently in

commit 46cf789b68b25744be3dc99efd4afce4a5381b5c

    connector: Move maintainence under networking drivers umbrella.
    
    Evgeniy does not have the time nor capacity to maintain the
    connector subsystem any longer, so just move it under networking
    as that is effectively what has been happening lately.

There wasn't much development in this code for a long while,
so I guess it was done just to make sure patches don't fall
thru the cracks. But you seem to be trying to develop it more
actively.

Okay, if nobody else who want to take these patches into their tree
raises their hand - we can try to continue to process the patches,
as long as Peter or someone else with the expertise acks them.
